The Adani Group's move to form a private university has been approved, after the Gujarat State Assembly unanimously passed a bill seeking the establishment of the university under the Gujarat State Private Universities Act, 2009. The group's application for setting up a private university was submitted through the Adani Institute of Education and Research (AIER).
The process of granting private university status to Adani University involved a careful evaluation of AIER's application and its proposal for a transformational university. The application was scrutinized by an empowered committee nominated by the Gujarat State Education Department.
Based on the committee's recommendations, the Government of Gujarat brought it for consideration in the State Assembly. The Adani University will start offering programs in Academic Year 2022.
